Tourist office Positano
The Comune di Positano runs 1 tourist office, the Ufficio del Turismo "Luca Vespoli" at Viale Regina Giovanna 13, open every day from 09:00 to 21:00. It is named after Luca Vespoli, the historic director of the Azienda Autonoma di Soggiorno e Turismo di Positano.
The office gives visitors information on events, places to visit, exhibitions and museums, together with the contacts to use in case of need. It also takes bookings and sells entry tickets for the Museo Archeologico Romano (MAR) and organises the town's main public events. QR codes placed around Positano and in the hamlets of Montepertuso and Nocelle show bus timetables and events on a smartphone.
